I thought it would be fun to do a little throwback and discuss the first high-end products that I bought! It’s really a big deal when you first buy high-end products if you’re young and not used to it. That’s why I still remember the things I bought. Let’s see which products were my first high-end products.

To be honest, I don’t think I buy high-end products for a long time though. It might be around 2,5/3 years for now. I’m wearing makeup since I was 13 but always cheaper products and definitely not high-end, which is totally fine of course. There’s nothing wrong with budget products at all. But I guess everyone still knows the feeling of buying your first high-end product. It just feels amazing and you really saved for the product you bought and that together makes it super special. Let’s discuss the first high-end makeup products that I bought.

Dimensions de Chanel mascara

My mom first gifted it to me when I was around 15 years old and it became a tradition. So every Christmas my mom gifted me this mascara. But there came a time where my mascara wouldn’t last the whole year and so I bought my first own Chanel mascara when I was like 18 years. This was the first ever Chanel mascara that I owned, but later I went on using and buying the Le Volume de Chanel mascara. I still use this one though! I can still remember the first time I got this mascara as a present and it felt amazing. I was super in love with Chanel products, but I didn’t have to money to buy something myself. So that’s why my mom thought it would be a cute Christmas gift. I was so excited when I saw that she got me the mascara and I loved it so much. That’s why I still use Chanel mascaras to this day.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glowkit Sun Dipped

This was my first ever highlighter I bought in my life and I thought it was so expensive haha. I was super in love with this palette and I just wanted to give it a try so I saved for it and bought it. When it arrived I was more than excited and I was super gentle with it. That’s the day I fell in love with highlighters and never left the house anymore without a glowing cheek haha. I still own this palette and use it as well. I bought the Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero glowkit very soon after it because I was so in love with the ABH glowkit. I still am to this day!

Kylie Cosmetics Koko K Lip Kit

This was my first purchase outside Europe. I never bought anything from the US so this was super exciting and I can remember I was a little anxious as well. You never know what happens during the travel from the US to the Netherlands. The 1,5/2 weeks waiting for my Koko K Lip Kit to arrive almost killed me haha, I was way too excited to wait that long. When my first ever Lip Kit from Kylie Cosmetics arrived, totally fine and all the way from the US I was extremely happy. I can still remember how happy and excited I was that day. It also made me obsessed with Kylie Cosmetics haha. Kylie Cosmetics was just established and I never missed a launch since then, so I have been loving Kylie’s products since the start of her brand. I still own my Koko K Lip Kit and I still love it so much. It’s such a pretty pink nude and I love how it looks on my lips. I think Kylie Cosmetics has the best matte lip products ever.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

I always wore concealers from Essence or Catrice but I remember that I really wanted to try something better because these concealers didn’t really good on me (like creasing and stuff). So I went to a MAC store and bought my very first MAC product, the Pro Longwear concealer. I really had to get used to it but I immediately liked it. I’ve been using this concealer for like 2 years and it’s been a while now since I last used it. In the meantime, I’ve discovered concealers that I like more, which is nice. I definitely don’t hate the MAC concealer by the way.

That’s it! Since these moments I fell in love with high-end products and I think most of the products I own now are high-end. I’m very happy with everything I own and I love makeup very much. Moreover, I don’t want you to think that budget proof makeup is bad because that’s not the case. If you love these products, please keep using them.
